I was shocked to learn that he was the first professional athlete to come out during his playing career. I would have thought it had already been done. Good for him, either way.

I was also surprised that he was the first active professional athlete to come out. I heard something about a player for the LA Galaxy in the MLS was spotted training with the team, not sure of his name, but he had announced he was gay and retired.

Good on Jason Collins.
